NEW YORK - April 16, 2014: Nissan's all-new 2015 Nissan Murano made its world auto
show debut today at the New York International Auto Show. The halo vehicle
for Nissan's expanding range of bold crossovers and SUVs, the dramatic new
Murano embodies Nissan's new design direction – including its
V-motion front end, LED boomerang lights and the unique "floating" roof.
Murano's breakthrough exterior design carries into the interior, which
offers an engaging social lounge feel through features such as the refined
lower-height instrument panel, wide center console, advanced NASA-inspired
Zero Gravity front and outboard rear seating, and the airy atmosphere
created by the large windows and oversized Power Panoramic Moonroof.

Also making its North American debut today was the new 2015 Nissan Versa
Sedan, the best-selling vehicle for four years in a row in the highly
competitive sub-compact segment.

Most prominent of the changes is the bold new front-end treatment
anchored by larger headlights, a more substantial looking fascia and
standard chrome plating on the grille – all of which strengthen the
family ties of the Versa Sedan with the Nissan stable mates – Sentra,
Altima and Maxima. The new Versa Sedan goes on sale today at Nissan dealers
nationwide.

North America, Inc. Chairman, Management Committee and Executive Vice
President José Muñoz.

"In the past three years, Nissan has completely transformed its product
portfolio, grown global volume by more than one million units, strengthened
the brand to being the fastest-growing automaker on the Interbrand Top 100,
resulting in the shake-up of entire auto industry segments," said Palmer.
"Murano helped create a new segment, and the latest version, debuting
today, redefines that segment."

Added Muñoz: "We have ambitious growth targets for the Nissan brand, and
these goals are supported by increasing consumer demand for our newest
products. In the last 12 months, Nissan brand sales were up nearly 15
percent in the U.S. due to positive customer response to new vehicles like
Versa Note, Pathfinder and Rogue. Now with the new Murano coming this fall,
we expect this momentum to continue as we're poised to set even better
numbers for 2014, including increased market share."

In addition, Nissan demonstrated its new, highly innovative Smart
Rearview Mirror that utilizes advanced camera technology to enhance the
driver's view behind a vehicle. For its first U.S. showing in New York, it
is installed in the all-new 2014 Rogue at the Nissan display. Housed within
a structure of a traditional rearview mirror, the Smart Rearview Mirror
allows the driver to switch between a traditional rearview mirror and an
LCD monitor, depending on the driver's preference. The camera projects a
clear image – a wider and clearer view than a standard mirror –
onto the monitor for a better view, as well as a more comfortable driving
experience.

"Smart Rearview Mirror will give our customers the best possible view no
matter how tall the passengers in the back seat or how bad the road
conditions," said Palmer. "This mirror technology reinforces Nissan's
commitment to improving the everyday driving experience with advanced
systems and technology, such as Electric Vehicles, connected and autonomous
driving cars."
